thanks mate yeah they do. they are probably the cheapest way to get a lightweight forged wheel as well.

I finally got round to fitting the hicas lockbar and pinapples on the weekend since i finally had a bit of spare time. it was toeing out so much in the rear after i fitted it. so i got a wheel alignment done and it was 42mm out. it was a handful driving it to bridgestone which luckily is on a minute down the road from my place

Yeah thanks mate. im looking at getting some swaybars and tyres soonish and im in on the group buy at the moment on the D2 brake kits so hopefully that will go through soon. Im heading to wakefield in march so that will be its first real test

Then i was looking i was looking to get a set of 34 gtr wheels to use on the track. i ended up getting a set from import monster that came wrapped in 245/40 dunlop z1's which was a bonus they are a bit old and worn but they would do the job until i got new tyres. i bought a guard roller as well so i could get them to fit comfortably they only needed a roll on the rear and a little bit of a flare as well on the front. i fitted them the day before the cruise down old pac to galston gorge and these are a couple of photos taken that day Then it was time for a new timing belt and water pump so i ordered a kit for kudos and got stuck into get that done

so the first lot of parts i got from justjap were some BC er series coilovers, hicas lock bar, pineapples and a rear strut brace. i put the coilovers and rear strut brace on that weekend. its was way too low in the rear when i first put them in so i had to raise them up about 40mm. rear strut brace on i have read that they dont make any noticeable differnece but i got it anyway i will see how i go if i dont feel like it does anything i get rid of it. Next i finally got around to get a series 2 front bar so it will finally have a bumper on it that fits properly i had a couple of imperfection and a cracked lip but i was planning on getting another one anyway. so when it arrived i sanded it back prepped of painting i just done it my self with pressure packs as i will getting it painted properly when i get a new lip. And the finished product painted and fitted

yeah i always see you driving out in the arvo as im walking to the carpark you must get out a couple of minutes earlier then me. i will have to start driving mine to work more. im gunna try and get a wheel alignment monday arvo cos im putting in a hicas lock bar and a few other bits tommorrrow morning and i will drive it for the rest of the week.

i would be in for going there if we can get a bit of a group there

i cant believie it hasnt taken off either. i had been waiting for this since you first mentioned it in the ksport review a year ago. im at wakefield early march so if i get them by then i will be happy its an awesome deal guys get in on it

too much VTAKKKKKKKKK will do that. at least its all sorted and getting replaced it could have been a lot worse

hi all i got my car back in January 2010 with 88000kms on the clock im not sure how accurate those k's are but i have the import papers which showed 44000 when it arrives here in 2006. it had a bit of work already done to it just mainly the basic power mods. It had a hybrid front mount, 3" impul catback exhaust, apexi pod filter, greddy profec bspec 2 boost controller, larger fuel pump (unsure of what pump though) power fc and set of lmgt4's 17 by 7.5+30 front and 8.5+40 rear that were wrapped in re001's. It was tuned at uni group and made 198rwkw on 12psi. This was plenty for me being my first turbo car. It did have a couple of minor problems but i got it for the right price and they were easy fixes it had a miss, had a series 1 front bar ( the car is a series 2) so it didnt line up properly which was quite annoying and the front grill had a couple of broken clips and was bouncy around when driving. This is how it was when i got it Im unsure what this badge is about but it was on it when i got it. but if anyone knows it would be good if you could let me know So the first things that i done were replace the coilpacks with a set of yellow jackets which fixed the miss straight away and got a new grill. I drove it around like that for a few months and decided i wanted a bit more power so i ordered a jjr bell mouth 3" dump pipe and 100 cell cat.So i got them fitted and thats when the first problems started on the high boost it the check engine light would flash under hard acceleration. So i took it too blacktracks were i got it on the dyno to check the afr's and see how much more power was made. To my surprise the car was makeing slightly less power 194rwkw but the afrs were sitting on around 13.5:1 until redline. while on low boost( 10psi) they sat perfectly on 12. So to maintain a healthy engine it was to be left on low boost, it didnt worry me much as it's main purpose was to be used at the track so it was only going to run on 10 pound anyway. Thats how things were up unitl a few months ago. So this is where the build really begins. The plans first are to get the handleing and braking side of things done and get the car well setup for the track and then look at power later on when i fell as though thats what holding me back from going quicker. I will update with the rest later

smashing boxes is usually heaps of fun. at least your back on the road.

timmyyyyyyyy When are you gunna stop being a skirt and go individual throttles already

Yeah this is a good idea it will help those people make choice on what set up they want, if they arnt able to go for a drive in a car with a similar setup to get a feel for it. this will at least give them an idea of what it will be like.

put me down for the red cheers

yeah put me down for a front 356mm kit for a 33. I will just get the street pad

The race pads that you can kit in the kit are they still alright for the street? or are they a really aggressive pad. The car isn't my daily so it doesn't get driven that much on the road

Here is how mine is sitting now

yeah it is cheaper by far. i was more asking how much more the 356 kits were.

Is the 1800 for the 330mm kit or is it for both? because i have found the 356mm kit to retails for more then the 330mm

This group buy sounds pretty good. Im wondering if anyone knows what the piston sizes are? and what the surface area of the pads area? just so i can compare these to some other brake kits but so far they look like a winner.

yeah im in for this

It was an awesome curise thanks for organising it mat

Yeah thats my car. do you work at ugl? i have seen a silver 34 there so im guessing thats you i have been seeing.

I have a couple of mates whoe are pretty keen to come. they arent skylines but still some nice jap stuff.
